A petition opposing the eight-storey condo development on the site of the old Postal Station R at 2 Laird Drive is circulating throughout Leaside. It is also online. So far nearly 650 people have signed it. The petition is a cry from the heart from citizens who fear another “variance” to city zoning may yet approve the structure. The petition, which is here, says: “The proposal contravenes the intent of the Toronto Official Plan on many levels and raises concerns for the future growth of Leaside. We believe the excessive height, density, massing, and the built form’s incompatibility with the existing neighbourhood’s context will have an adverse affect on our community. In the best interest for positive change, please join the Leaside Community and LPOA by requesting that the current 2 Laird Drive rezoning application filed with the City of Toronto be refused.”
